Ode XVII. To Ælius Lamia.

Ælius, whose ancient Lineage springs
From Lamus, Founder of the Name,
(From whom a sacred Line of Kings
Shines through the long Records of Fame,
From whom th'illustrious Race arose,
Who first possess'd the Formian Towers,
And reign'd where Liris smoothly flows
To fair Marica's marshy Shores)
If the old Shower-foretelling Crow
Croak not her boading Note in vain,
To-morrow's Eastern Storm shall strow
The Woods with Leaves, with Weeds the Main.
Then pile the Fuel while you may,
And chear your Spirit high with Wine,
Give to your Slaves one idle Day,
And feast upon the fatted Swine.
